It comprises of a unique blend of energy supplying glucose with protein concentrate, and can be used in all species. CCF has been developed for the nutritional support of birds, mammals and reptiles whose metabolism may be disturbed, in instances such as loss of appetite, starvation, surgery and periods of recovery. The formulation is a mixture of selected short chain maltodextrins (derived from corn starch) and a protein concentrate supplemented with amino acids. CCF should be made up freshly each time, it has great benefits over commonly used liquid formulations of easily digestible carbohydrates in that it is a powder and can be stored until a small amount is needed. CCF in powder form remains stable for months (provided that the container is sealed) and also provides a suitable protein source which counters the hypoproteinaemic states of catabolism, which in birds especially is a major problem.
The Vetark Critical Care Formula is a specialized dietary supplement designed to provide essential nutritional support for birds, reptiles, and mammals with compromised metabolisms. It's ideal for animals recovering from illness, injury, or experiencing appetite loss, helping them receive vital nutrients when normal feeding is not possible. However, it's crucial to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate dosage and suitability for your pet's specific needs.
